August 1st holds a special place in Yorkshire's history for, on this day in 1759, soldiers from Yorkshire regiments who had fought in the battle of Minden, in Germany, picked white roses from bushes near to the battlefields as a tribute to their fallen comrades. Since that time the white rose has become the symbol of Yorkshire and is proudly worn by Yorkshiremen and women on Yorkshire Day.

So roll up, roll up on Saturday August 1st 2009 for a great day of Geocaching, chat, drink/food plus the opportunity to be one of the first to get your hands on the new 2009 Yorkshire Geocoin to commemorate the day which will (hopefully) be available exclusively at the event.

Location is at the Reindeer Inn in Overton, West Yorkshire -10 mins from M1 J39. The pub has good beer, good food, nice views, and is kiddie friendly, however dogs are not allowed inside. We have the conservatory at the back booked between 12:00 and 15:00 where there is plenty of space and weather permitting access to the beer garden where doggies can join us.

On the day there will be several new caches in the area with some 2009 Yorkshire Geocoins as an FTF prizes.

Game plan … meet in the Pub car park at 10:30am onwards where instructions will be available for some of the new unpublished caches in the area, lunch back at the pub about 12:30 and Geocoin purchases, then on to more caching and those FTF 2009 Yorkshire Geocoins

ADD THIS CACHE TO YOUR WATCH LIST - I will update this page with more details and menu options etc when I have them
